Craig Meets Dawkins

This morning, William Lane Craig is in Mexico participating in a panel debate at La Cuidad De Las Ideas called, “Does the Universe Have a Purpose?” It’s part of the third annual Festival Internacional de Mentes Brillantes (International Festival of Great Minds). This year, the conference theme is: “The Origins of the Future—A Life Experience: Rebirth.”

Yesterday, he wrote about meeting Richard Dawkins. Here’s how he described it on Facebook:

I stuck out my hand and introduced myself and said, “I’m surspised to see that you´re on the panel.”

He replied, “And why not?”

I said, ¨Well, you’ve always refused to debate me.”

His tone suddenly became icy cold. “I don’t consider this to be a debate with you. The Mexicans invited me to participate, and I accepted.” At that, he turned away.
